GP nurse gets €26,000 after unfair dismissal

A GP practice nurse who told her boss that “I am not a docker” after being asked to sign a time sheet form has been awarded €26,000 for unfair dismissal.

In its ruling, the Employment Appeals Tribunal has awarded Miriam McGrath €26,000 after finding that GP Now unfairly dismissed her on September 12, 2013.

GP Now established its first clinic at Sandyford, Dublin, in 2011, billed as an alternative in private primary healthcare. It has since opened two other clinics at Swords and Templeogue.
